## Example call (MCP tools/call, JSON-RPC 2.0)

```json
{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",

## Why resume_process is rated High

This tool resumes a previously paused process on a cybersecurity/offensive security platform. In the context of HexStrike AI running 150+ cybersecurity tools for pentesting and exploitation, resuming a paused process could trigger active exploitation, network scanning, payload delivery, or other offensive security operations. The blast radius is high given the offensive security context of the server.

From the tool's own definition: "Resume a paused process"

## Use case

AI agents invoke resume_process to trigger actions in Hexstrike Ai. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

## Recommended policy (PolicyLayer)

Verdict: **Rate-limited**. Enforced by the PolicyLayer MCP gateway (https://policylayer.com/mcp-gateway) before a call reaches Hexstrike Ai:

```json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "resume_process": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "resume_process_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
